Which is real, and which is only a shadow of the real?
When we stop believing in the unseen, we eventually
succumb to living a life of resignation to the shadows.

"Happy Birthday, Andy?"
Picture of the Day
"Happy Birthday, Andy?"
Acrylic on fomecore, 16"x 24"
Based on a photo of Andy Warhol
Today Andy Warhol would be 86 and my guess is
that he would be utterly shocked at the value of his prints
which are estimated at 20% of the total value of
art collectibles in the world.

Acrylic on paper, approx. 11" x 14"
The title of this piece is from a short story I wrote in which every sentence was plagiarized from a different work of fiction. One line was from a Hemingway story, another from a Malcolm Lowry novel, etc. The story is of minor importance, but the concept was fun to execute, much like this painting here.

I posted this several years ago when I had no followers.
As a result it was opened four times.
Hence, a good time to re-share.

with my trademarked "e" and framed.)

The Voot
Picture of the Day
The Voot
Acrylic on paper, 18"x 14"
Four or five years ago I did a series of paintings in which I would paint only for the duration of a single song. The pictures that appeared were always original, with brush strokes and colors driven by the music. Songs selected at that time included Desolation Row (Dylan), Voodoo Child (Hendrix) and Heroin (Velvet Underground) among others. I found myself especially taken with Gretchen Seichrist's The Voot from her Patches and Gretchen CD Even Breaks.
About the song she stated: "It's about how evil operates in tiny ordinary doses in a hidden way and bringing to light the little sacrifices of humanity people sometimes are really asking you to make. The Voot represents the last stand against it all. I think of it like Gregory Peck playing Atticus Finch in front of the jail house when the town mob came..... he's standing in The Voot!"

Warhol Screen Test: Tangled Blues
Picture of the Day
Warhol Screen Test: Tangled Blues
Acrylic on panel, 24"x 24"
One of two paintings that I've done so far based on this classic meeting of two artists.
In reviewing the video just now I see that I got the hair wrong. Alas.
Means I will have to do another some day.
I like the effect of rubbing the pigments into the surface rather than painting.
The microphone was created by painting the unit then rubbing the paint off,
leaving the edges. It will be titled Bob Dylan, take 34.

Mapped Life

Mapped Life
Acrylic on paper, overlayed on map of Minnesota, 8"x 10"
I made this picture when my daughter went away to college.
St. Cloud, which is located just above and to the right of the man's head,
was a midpoint between Duluth and the University of MN Morris
where she attended. I chose to leave it exposed because until I began
transporting her to school I'd never been there. We often stopped in St. Cloud
for a meal, going one way or the other. The forest green area on the forehead,
closest to Morris, is symbolic of the portion of my mind dedicated to thinking about her.

The title of the piece pertains to the sense in which so much of life feels mapped out
and outside our control, even when we ourselves are responsible
for setting those events in motion.
